For a while now I have been feeling prompted to offer myself as a speaker and for workshops. A vision has been slowly taking shape for me about sharing my story in a more significant way than ever. My desire is to be able to share both music and my story, and I welcome any opportunities to engage a crowd.

As a teacher, I know that we can't teach what we don't know ourselves. I have come through a lot in life, and while I am by no means perfect, anything and everything I've learned I try to pass along. Some topics that I feel passionately about are:

Songwriting
Discovering and nurturing the creative self
Fostering creativity and imagination in kids
Finding our calling and passion in life
Eating disorders and self-esteem
Health and well-being
Life as an artist
Faith and art
Living by faith and our relationship to the Creator

I've worked in sales, as a missionary, as a music director, a professional songwriter and as an entrepreneur. I've come through my own divorce and the divorce of my parents when I was a teenager, battled and been healed from an eating disorder, found my way to my calling after working as a Flight Attendant and obtaining a degree in Education, survived a head-on collision with a semi-truck, dealt with chronic back pain and utter loss of hope-and been healed, walked through many ups and downs and held on to faith (actually, it held on to me!), traveled across Canada, the United States and abroad, experienced many things and learned a great deal about life and faith. I look forward to sharing with your organization or group!
